My 932c used to print 3 or 4 lines per pass and now it does one line per pass I had the exact same problem, except with a Deskjet 932C. Someone on the list said man lptcontrol and set your printer to poll. I used this command: % lptcontrol -p -d /dev/lpt0 and it fixed my problem. where so you install the command? You should run this command as root from the command line. If you want to make it permanent, add the follwoing to /boot/device.hints: hint.ppc.0.flags=0x28 This puts the port in ECP mode (flag 0x08), and disables the IRQ (flab 0x20), thus enabling polling mode. If your chipset doesn't support ECP mode (unlikely for a reasonably modern one) use 0x20 instead of 0x28. The hint will take eddect on the next reboot. The lptcontrol command will take care of things until you reboot.

Then 'Interrupt storm detected on irq5: lpt0; throttling interrupt source' kernel error message apears and the rest of the document prints slow, as in the first example. I tried this with several standard and HP bidirectional cables. I also tried all possible BIOS settings for the port.

I am new to FreeBSD, so if anyone else has better advice on this matter, please chime in. The only things I can think of are: 1. hint.ppc.0.falgs= is what you typed above twice. Make sure that this is not misspelled in the device.hints file (it should be flags... not falgs). 2. Try 0x28. 3. Read a thread from the archives in April 2005 entitled Very slow printing with stock FreeBSD5.3 + CUPS + Gimp-Print + HPDeskJet612C ( http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2005-April/thread.html#84258 ). In there, they mention having to possibly remove a line and possibly adding another one. They also mention some other drivers that might work better for you. 4. Try going through lptcontrol. Chapter 9 of the FreeBSD Handbook goes over this a bit. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/printing-intro-setup.html I hope this helps.

And, if anyone else has any ideas, please add 'em. Good luck. Looks like a pretty good list to me! For parallel port printers, I always configure the parallel port in the BIOS to be either EPP or ECP (never really found out which is better or what difference it makes) and then set flags to 0x20 or ox28. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
